What process do you go through to determine eq adjustments deep vs. wide?

Well, your eq is going to have some kind of depth or width.I'm not sure I would even make 'deep' or 'wide' at the mastering stage. If you're making that much of adjustment go back and revisit the mixes.

I was asking regarding eq at any stage.

Ah, got it! I notch narrowly for ringing tones and reduce as much as it takes to reduce or remove the ringing. When I boost, I always have a Q of about 1.0, maybe 1.5, and seldom boost more than 3 dB. The times I need to reduce a wide range of frequencies, I tend not to use a parametric, but go for a shelf instead, and it can be anywhere from .5 to 5 dB.
As for the process, I sweep frequencies to home in on the exact frequency I'm looking for, but basically I just listen to it and if something needs attention, it usually suggests itself.
It's just a random example because Jimmys was expressing non-understanding of what I was talking about. I thought the terms deep and wide related to eq were self-evident.That, as far as I can see, is the same EQ - just a greater amount of cut.
?You don't have to "decide deep vs. wide on eq" because gain and width are independent parameters. That would be like having to choose between the steering wheel and gas pedal when driving.

Not sure what you're talking about. When you apply eq you have to apply it over a certain frequency range (width) and a certain about of boost or cut.
I still can't figure what you're trying to get to in this. Surely it must be understood that how wide, how deep and where is need based (or our perception off it).?
